League of 10 #2 will take place on Tuesday 18th May, same time, same place UNLESS there is a lane closure in place at Finlaystone, in which case we will go to the Georgetown road for the first ride in the Chocolate series. The second alternative would be to do the hilly TT from Langbank to Houston and back. 🤮
I will assess the road on Monday night and post up the finalised arrangements.
Regardless of what is happening on the road, we will have an event on Tuesday evening.
can we have a volunteer to timekeep please? That role also includes the role for co-ordinating the track and trace info.

Sorry for the delay, dinner was my priority last night when I got home and then I've been travelling today.

Apparently you were three seconds faster than a man old enough to be your father.🤣🤣

Arts Cyclery on YouTube has a quick video on this that works. But if you are looking at replacements then it may be too far gone for this fix.

Thanks for that everyone: it was good to blow off the cobwebs and to put some faces to names. Hope to see you all again soon.

I just pop on some aero bars to a road bike and do fine.

I should be ok to timekeep.

I'm keen to try my first TT this year. I've only got my normal road bike and kit, so it'll need to be that. Assuming that's okay, could someone post a link to the course and meeting point please?

I will turn up, but be prepared to wait for me to finish.  Willing to time-keep if needed.

Can you add me please 

Scottish Government COVID-19 Protection - Level 4 - Stay at Home   Scottish Cycling would like to thank you for your patience this week as they worked closely with colleagues at sportscotland to develop updated guidance for Level 4 areas following the announcements from the Scottish Government on Tuesday.    The updated guidance does permit a greater level of club activity than has been possible up until this point, but there are still a number of restrictions in place which are outlined in the document which can be found at;      https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/SC2_Guidance_Tier_4_-_12.03.21.pdf     Club Activity for Adults (18+) can take place, but physical distancing must be in place at all times, and the group size is limited to 15 during coaching (in a traffic free environment) and limited to 9 in group rides.  All of the above activity must have oversight of a Covid-19 Coordinator who has a completed Risk Assessment and completed the sportscotland Covid-officer training. If activity does not comply with this, it is classed as informal activity and must follow the Outdoor Socialising Rules. 
Key Points
Adults are not allowed to travel outwith their Local Authority area to take part in organised activity, such as club group rides, coaching sessions or events.  Transiting through multiple Level 4 areas on an organised group ride is currently not permitted. Physical distancing must be observed at all times: before, during and after activity. Scottish Government guidance allows for Organised (formal) groups of up to 15 however Scottish Cycling strongly recommends a maximum group ride size of 9 from unlimited households. Organised (formal) activity - defined by the involvement of a COVID-19 Coordinator for the planning or delivery of activity. Outdoor socialising activity, including informal group rides: • Adult (18+)- 4 adults from 2 households. So, what is permitted is for a Club Ride to start and stay within a local authority area but only for members who live in that local authority area. If there are any Club Runs (3 - 9 riders) then there must be a nominated ride leader who sends in names and contact details of all participants for track & trace.

I will give it a clean,  I wonder if I am allowed to use the dishwasher for it!  Then I can either leave it outside for you to get whenever or I can cycle over to you to drop it off.

Saw Mike Ferguson today & yesterday. Good to see he’s out and about again 👍

You can find the reliability routes on the club rides section. Saw your run today on strava. So I guess you’ve found those already. The TT courses, you’re already familiar with.

Nah, you didn't-was driving 🙂 Hope you had a good ride 👍

I missed you, many apologies.

Gerard and Graham heading to Dunlop, in brilliant sunshine.

Thanks to lockdown I can descend a lot faster.  It has something to do with physics, mass and gravity, I will know more about after the topic comes up in home schooling.  If you were wearing visible club kit I would have stopped to say hello, I miss club runs and everyone I would see there.

Gerard D going fast down Main Road (B789) hill in Langbank today as I was huffing and puffing my way up it in the pishing rain 😓 lol

I may have forgotten how to do these!  Is there a cafe stop en route?

After the disaster for club events that was 2020, I have uploaded the provisional calendar for 2021. There are a couple of caveats though.
1. All club events remain suspended until further notice. In practice, this means that I fully expect that none of the scheduled events will actually take place until after Easter at the earliest. There is at best a 50% chance that the schedule will run normally after July.
2. Just because an event is on the calendar, do not assume that it will take place unless a thread is opened specifically for it.
3. Events that do not take place will not be rescheduled. 
4. Events that do take place will be run in accordance with the most up to date SC/CTT guidance. Where there is conflict between the two bodies, we will always support the stricter regime to ensure your safety.
 
I hope everyone has a great season, when it eventually gets going.
 
And actually, I've ignored rule 3 above...

I just wanted to wish our members all the best for the festive season, and beyond. It’s been a strange old year. Let’s hope we can get back to some semblance of normality in the new year.
Cheers and best wishes
